EU Snus Ban!?!

[Jan]

Manufactures might be banned under the new directive from naming snus "wintergreen, cranberry, vanilla...etc" but again, let' s hope for a general exception for Swedish snus in Sweden

[halocog]

That proposal is a load of old tosh, were they high when they came up with those proposals? What the hell is a "novel tobacco product" a comedy cigar shaped like a cock? A book of tobacco leaves? utter bullshit!

Sigged. lol

GN's stuff tastes primarily of tobacco with only a hint of the flavouring, its Jaks who need to worry about that.

I guess they'll have to rethink their ice cream cotton candy birthday cake surprise flavor.

Swedish MPs:
"Embarrassing EU"

Published 2012-12-19 14:55

Europaparlamentariker Christofer Fjellner (M), which has long campaigned for snus sales in Europe do not think the EU could go in and decide how snus is manufactured in Sweden.

"Something that should not be on the internal market, the EU not to do., It is a very simple legal principle," says Christofer Fjellner to SIX.

ad:
The European Commission's proposal on new tobacco directive proposes a ban on specific flavorings in tobacco products, including snus. Snus is banned in the EU except Sweden. The exemption applies, however, only marketing and sales, which opens to the EU can control other things like condiments reason EU Health Commissioner Tonio Borg.

Christofer Fjellner is confident that Sweden would win if you take battle to snus and pushing the issue in the European Court of Justice.

"It's embarrassing if the EU is forcing us to take the matter to court to assert the obvious. If the EU does not allow snus, so EU has not to do with how to produce it," says Christofer Fjellner to SIX.

The reason that almost all Swedish snus is flavored is that it is made of air-cured tobacco. Smoked tobacco, used for most other tobacco products, gives different taste, but also contains substances that are harmful to health.

- Would this be the final draft, the quality of snus be worse, a number of brands disappear, and fewer smokers will choose the snus instead, says Patrik Hildingsson. (Swedish Match)

Now the proposal is adopted by the EU Council and the EU Parliament. Are not they agree to put a conciliation commission. Much can thus be changed along the way. The new rules are adopted to take effect in 2015 or 2016th

I have always said that no-one deserves to die from Alzheimer's,but she does.

I have always said that no-one deserves to die from Alzheimer's,but she does.

For all her faults, and she had many, she was a very competent politician and by far the best PM the UK had in recent memory. You could argue, of course, that that's not her merit but rather due to the mediocrity of her successors.

edit: why am I using past tense when she's still alive...

A bit harsh no?
